Our Editorial team's advice

For your meals at the restaurant, reserve beforehand so that the chef is sure to have enough food.
Believe the locals when they tell you that their red chilli (malagueta) is the world's hottest. You may not want to even try it!
Keep some dollars on you, because, unlike restaurants, many hotels and taxi drivers prefer them to dobras.
If you are using an analogue camera, bring your own films with you. It is preferable to ask for permission before taking a picture of people, and it is strictly prohibited to take pictures of official buildings (ports, airports, departments of the government, presidential palace).
